Summary: Let's ride on Fred's shoulders!

I've been staying out of this discussion because I have the same problems
with it as Karl. Who's gonna care about the USOA?

Perhaps Fred Fish can help. He's got an in at Amazing Computing. If AC starts
publishing the USOA ratings for programs that are already out there (who
wants to review TextCraft? :->), then we can start pulling in manufacturers.

We need someone to write an article setting down the criteria and send it to
AC (or maybe Transactor, even). Then next month we start the reviews. The
published reviews should merely consist of a list of things wrong with the
program, perhaps some scaling, then a final score. Low scores are better.
